Microcavity structures containing InGaAs-GaAs quantum dots (QDs) emitting a
t 1.3 mum at 300 K have been studied. The angle-resolved photoluminescence
measurements revealed a large spectral splitting of TE and TM components, w
hich amounts up to 12 nm for an angle of emission of 30 degrees. This effec
t is tentatively explained by diffraction of the electro-magnetic field at
a single anisotropically shaped QD and the collective effect of the anisotr
opy of the QD array.
